SIBU: An incident where the engine of a Daro-bound express boat caught fire should serve as a wake-up call on safety to operators.

Assistant Transportation Minister Datuk Dr Jerip Susil urged boat operators to ensure that their boats were always in good condition, especially during the Gawai Dayak festival.
